EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork titled "Holy Mandylion (The Vernicle)" created by Simon Ushakov in 1658. Housed in the esteemed State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting holds immense significance within Christianity and Russian iconography. Ushakov's masterpiece depicts the holy countenance of Jesus Christ, known as the Mandylion or Vera. Painted with meticulous detail using tempera on panel, this iconic image represents a pivotal moment in biblical history. According to tradition, it is believed to be an imprint of Christ's face miraculously transferred onto a cloth during his lifetime. Revered by Orthodox Christians, this sacred relic is associated with the Image of Edessa and its connection to Abgarus of Edessa. The Vernicle symbolizes not only divine presence but also serves as a spiritual reminder for believers worldwide. Through Ushakov's skillful brushwork and devotion to religious themes, he brings forth an ethereal quality that captivates viewers. This piece exemplifies the rich heritage of Russian icon painting while paying homage to centuries-old traditions upheld by the Orthodox Church. As we gaze upon this profound work of art, we are reminded of Christ's enduring influence and his timeless message of love and salvation. It stands as a testament to Ushakov's talent as well as our collective human desire for spiritual connection through visual representation.
